Glock Firearm Acquisition / Trade-In

The Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE) has issued an Invitation to Bid (ITB) for the trade-in of approximately 103 firearms of various brands and calibers, as well as the purchase of Gen 5 Glock firearms. FDLE is seeking competitive sealed bids from federally-licensed firearms dealers for the trade-in of the existing firearms, with the trade-in allowance to be applied towards the future purchase of Glock handguns, firearms, and accessories. The ITB includes detailed technical specifications for the Glock firearms to be purchased, as well as the trade-in firearms. The award will go to the responsive and responsible bidder offering the lowest grand total price after subtracting the trade-in allowance from the new firearm purchases. The ITB outlines a schedule of key dates, including the submission of vendor questions, bid opening, and award posting.

The ITB includes preferences for certified minority-owned businesses, in-state businesses, and drug-free workplace programs, as well as requirements for scrutinized companies lists and cooperation with the Inspector General. The procurement is limited to federally-licensed firearms dealers, and FDLE reserves the right to purchase additional weapons under this bid for up to one year from the successful completion of the award. The ITB does not specify an incumbent vendor or current contractor, nor does it provide any information about the budget range for this procurement.
